This means you cannot be President UNLESS you are a natural born citizen, UNLESS, of course, you were a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of the Constitution.

Of course. We are not in disagreement on this.

The Framers were ‘citizens of the United States’. They were not natural born citizens of the United States. They had to grandfather themselves in.

Sure, again, we are not in diagreement.

The clause, ‘or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution’, expired by the time James Buchannan was running for President.

Again, no disagreement.

Under the Constitution, only a citizen from birth/natural-born citizen, can be President. People who became citizens through the naturalization process cannot.

Becuase of his being born in the US, Barrack Obama was a US citizen from birth. He is therefore a natural-born citizen and is qualified to be President.

If he was born in the US. The evidence that he was not, or rather, lack of evidence that he was, is becoming very compelling.

I have to get back to my personal life for a while, I'll finish catching up later
